Solution Overview

Problem

Existing portable body abnormality notification devices and daily life degree analysis systems fail to notify users of potential abnormalities before they occur, making it difficult to take preventive measures, and they also struggle to inform both the monitored person and the monitoring person of impending changes in a timely manner.

Innovation Solution

An abnormality prediction device that detects biological and motion information, determines premonitory symptoms based on patterns, and outputs notification information when a premonitory symptom is detected, allowing users to take preventive actions before an actual abnormality occurs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing portable body abnormality notification devices detect biological information and notify users of abnormal states, then users can be alerted to actual abnormalities, but users cannot be notified of potential abnormalities before they occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveabnormality detection accuracyVSAvoidresponse time for preventive measures
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of premonitory symptoms by analyzing biological information patterns before actual abnormalities occur. The premonitory symptom determination unit identifies early warning signs and triggers notifications in advance, enabling users to take preventive measures before the actual abnormality happens.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors biological information and compares it against stored premonitory patterns to provide feedback about potential abnormalities. This feedback mechanism allows the system to detect deviations from normal patterns and alert users to potential issues before they manifest as actual abnormalities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If the system notifies users of actual abnormalities after they occur, then users can take corrective actions, but preventive measures cannot be taken in time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser notification capabilityVSAvoidtime for preventive actions
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system is configured to notify users of potential abnormalities before they actually occur by detecting premonitory symptoms. This preliminary notification enables users to take preventive actions in advance, transforming the system from reactive to proactive operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If the system continuously monitors biological information to detect premonitory symptoms, then timely prediction of abnormalities is achieved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveabnormality prediction accuracyVSAvoidpower consumption of monitoring device
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs periodic monitoring of biological information at predetermined time intervals rather than continuous monitoring. The measurement unit acquires biological information at set cycles, and the determination unit analyzes this periodic data to detect premonitory symptoms, reducing energy consumption while maintaining prediction reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

An abnormality prediction device includes a detection unit that detects detection information including at least one of biological information of a user and body motion information regarding a body motion of the user, a premonitory symptom determination unit (control unit) that determines whether a premonitory symptom has occurred in the user on the basis of the detection information detected by the detection unit and a premonitory pattern which is a pattern of the detection information according to the premonitory symptom of abnormality occurring in the user, and an information output unit (control unit) that, when the premonitory symptom determination unit determines that the premonitory symptom has occurred, outputs notification information indicating that occurrence of abnormality in the user is predicted.
